Catch of the Day: Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks - Little Fang

12 February 2014

Sorry in advance if you get "little fang little fang little faaaaang" in your head all day after hearing this. Actually I'm not. This is the kind of hook that puts a spring in your step and a smile on your face.

If Avey Tare is a name familiar to you then that's cos for years he's been making strange and wonderful music with his mates as Animal Collective. A few years ago, he put out a solo album and in 2014, he's stretching out to a new band (with his namesake front and centre), and it recalls some of the great, hook filled moments of AnCo's past. The warped pop tunes that band have been known to whip out from time to time.

Avey ain't alone on this project. Former Dirty Projector's vocalist Angel Deradoorian is also on board and their sound recalls classic 60's garage rock with a few left field flourishes thrown in for good measure.

An album is due out in April, but this first taste is just delightful. So sing with me, "little fang little fang little faaa-aaa-aaaang", and stream it for yourself, right here.
